DESCRIPTION:Digital sovereignty is often reduced to data residency\, Europ
 ean hosting or the use of open-source software. In defense and intelligenc
 e environments\, that definition is not sufficient.\n\nFor organisations w
 hose communications must remain available during political conflict\, supp
 ly-chain disruption\, network isolation or the failure of a trusted vendor
 \, sovereignty becomes an operational requirement: Can the organisation co
 ntinue to communicate when external dependencies are no longer available -
  or no longer trustworthy?\n\nDrawing on anonymized examples from customer
  projects in the military and intelligence sector\, this talk examines wha
 t digital sovereignty looks like under real operational pressure. It explo
 res architectural control\, disconnected and restricted environments\, ide
 ntity ownership\, software supply chains\, update sovereignty\, protocol c
 ompatibility and the ability to replace a vendor without replacing every c
 lient and workflow at the same time.\n\nThe central lesson is simple:\n\nD
 igital sovereignty is not where a system is hosted. It is the ability to u
 nderstand it\, operate it\, secure it and continue without permission from
  a third party.
